FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, while the Gator Run is inspired by original turf trainers, it is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear.

How should I clean the suede?

Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dust and dirt. Avoid harsh soaps or immersion in water.

What is the primary material used?

This particular variant features premium suede construction for a refined look.

Do these run true to size?

The Gator Run generally follows standard adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual New Balance size.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended. Suede is sensitive to moisture and can be permanently damaged by water or mud.

What does the nubbed outsole do?

The nubbed outsole provides improved grip on various surfaces and serves as an homage to the brand's performance heritage.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the suede upper

Use a dry, soft suede brush to gently lift dirt particles in the direction of the nap.

Water spots or wetness

Pat dry immediately with a clean cloth and allow to air dry. Do not use a hairdryer or place near heaters.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for multiple styles
  • High-quality suede material finish
  • Authentic 1980s retro-inspired aesthetic
  • Comfortable low-profile build

Cons

  • Suede material requires protection from moisture
  • Not intended for heavy-duty sports performance
  • Limited to specific colorway and material variations

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the Gator Run features suede components, proper care is essential to maintain its appearance. Avoid wearing the shoes in heavy rain or muddy conditions, as water can cause staining or stiffening of the material. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to gently remove surface dirt. For deep cleaning, utilize a suede-safe cleaner and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent color fading.
